Imagine receiving a call from someone who claims to be a DEA official warning you about suspicious activity on your license. The caller, identified in most reports as David Wilson, uses a heavy accent and references an “DEA card” to sound legitimate. This is a classic scam that preys on professionals’ fear of regulatory trouble. Never share personal or credential information over the phone, and don’t call any number they provide. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Always verify any alleged investigation directly with the official agency using known contact details.
